When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 10

After pocketing the bank card, Gina glanced at Mason, who was lurking behind Ethan. She signaled. “Bring him here.”

Fuming, Ethan, blaming Mason for his humiliation, grabbed him and threw him in front of Gina.

Gina flexed her wrist and landed a punch on Mason’s trembling face, causing his teeth to rattle and sending him crashing to the ground, his world going dark.

With her foot pressing down on Mason’s face, Gina demanded, “Delete the post, clear my name, and apologize.”

Tears and snot running down his face, Mason blubbered. Tll delete it. Please, get off me. I’m sorry, I screwed up, I’m the

Worst

Aria scoffed. “Suddenly all apologetic, huh? Thought you were Mr. Tough Guy.”

While sobbing. Mason scrambled to access the campus network on his phone, deleted the defamatory post, and published an apology under his real name.

Aria commented on the post right away. [All fluff, no stuff. Seriously, who buys this trashy gossip?]

Some recognized Aria’s account and, looking to curry favor or genuinely outraged, slammed the original post for spreading

Tumors.

Yet, others sensed something off about Mason’s apology, speculating he might have been threatened. But it was hard to imagine who would bother defending Gina, notorious as she was.

The apology stirred less buzz than the original rumor, but Gina wasn’t bothered. She knew many didn’t care for the truth; they just relished the chance to stomp on her a bit more.

The whole mess killed Ethan’s mood for drinking, prompting him to leave.
